    Barnaul voids any and all warrantees - and I actually think I am not joking come to think of it - even manufacturers know its crap and if you run it, it voids warrantee - which is normally the reverse as some/most state you must only run factory thru there rifles.

    I'm sure it was the same with Wolf ammo.

    Wolf is an importer. They sell a lot of relabelled ammunition, some of which is made by Barnaul. Barnaul is a bi-metal jacket and will wear your barrel a lot faster. I will dig up a link later about it where it's tested in 3 rifles, compared to Federal M193 loads.

    Buy some of the BVAC stuff from Reloaders, or some Belmont.

    What is ur current set up? If it is a 16" carbine you should be able to trim the tube to the appropriate length, it might require the gas port to be opened a little, due to the decrease in dwell time. If u have a rifle length tube it will require lathe work after the cut down to get the right profile for the gas block. I wouldn't trust local smiths to do this properly.

    I chopped a 16 inch daniel defence carbine barrel down to 12 inchs or what ever 765mm total length is for an ar
    I had one fail to hold back early on, which could have been anything as It hasnt happened again,

    very happy with the end product, Id be careful with the 10.5inch if you wanted to suppress it as it may have the muzzle break pinned on to be legal length, and when you remove it, the rifle becomes a pistol (as soon as it falls under the 762mm mark)

    Thanks for replays.
    Current set up is a bull barrel 16" with (i think) a mid carbine length system. Am now thinking about 12" as it would reach the minimum length with my stock set up. Have thought about having my current barrel cut. Two things putting me off this is that; 1 i have an over barrel suppressor already on the rifle and if the barrel was cut down then it would not fit and would be hard to sell.
    Second point is something you guys would probably know better than me. I heard last night at the range that cutting cromed lined barrels can wreck them and is not as good as a purpose built short barrel. If you guys could let me know that would be great.

    Good to hear thanks. Means i should be able to get a cheaper 16inch barrel and cut it down. The guy i was talking to had a friend selling a shorter barrel. Probably just wanted me to buy that instead.
    Thanks again.

    gas systems are either mid or carbine or rifle length.
    8 10 or 12 inches if memory serves me correctly
